< Judges 7 >

1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside En-harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by Gibeath-moreh, in the valley.
A LAILA, o Ierubaala, oia hoi o Gideona, a me na kanaka a pau me ia, ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, a hoomakaukau iho la ma ka luawai o Haroda. Aia hoi ka puali o ko Midiana ma ka aoao kukulu akau o lakou, ma ka papu e kokoke ana i ka puu o More.
2 And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people that are with thee are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying: mine own hand hath saved me.
I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ua nui loa ka poe kanaka me oe, nolaila, aole pono ia'u ke haawi i ko Midiana i ko lakou lima, o hookiekie auanei ka Iseraela imua o'u me ka olelo iho, Na kuu lima iho wau i hoola mai nei.
3 Now therefore make proclamation in the ears of the people, saying: Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead.' And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
No ia mea la ea, e hea aku oe ma na pepeiao o kanaka, e i aku, O ka mea hopohopo, a makau hoi, e hoi ia, a e haalele i ka mauna o Gileada. A hoi aku la, he iwakaluakumamalua tausani kanaka, a koe iho he umi tausani.
4 And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, that of whom I say to thee: This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee: This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.'
I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ua nui loa na kanaka i koe. E kai mai oe ia lakou ilalo i ka wai, a na'u no e hoao ia lakou nou malaila; a o ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, Eia ka mea hele me oe, oia ke hele; a o ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, aole hele keia me oe, aole ia e hele.
5 So he brought down the people unto the water; and the LORD said unto Gideon: 'Everyone that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.'
Kai mai la ia i kanaka ilalo i ka wai; i iho la o Iehova ia Gideona, O kela mea keia mea, e palu ana i ka wai, me kona alelo, e like me ko ka ilio palu ana, oia kau e hoonoho ai ma o lakou la; a pela hoi kela mea keia mea e kukuli iho ma kona mau kuli e inu.
6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
A o ka helu ana i ka poe i palu, e kapi ana ka lima, a i ko lakou waha, ekolu haneri kanaka. Aka, o na kanaka e a pau loa, kukuli iho la lakou a pau ma ko lakou mau kuli, e inu wai.
7 And the LORD said unto Gideon: 'By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.'
I mai la o Iehova ia Gideona, Ma keia poe kanaka, ekolu haneri, ka poe i palu e hoola aku ai au ia oukou, a e haawi iho no i ko Midiana i kou lima; e kuu aku hoi i na kanaka e a pau, e hoi i ko lakou wahi.
8 So they took the victuals of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Lawe na kanaka i wahi o, ma ko lakou lima, a me ko lakou mau pu; a hoouna aku la ia i ka Iseraela a pau, i kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona halelewa iho, a hookoe iho i kela poe kanaka, ekolu haneri. A aia hoi ka puali o ko Midiana malalo iho ona, ma ka papu.
9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him: 'Arise, get thee down upon the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
Ia po iho, olelo mai o Iehova ia ia, E ala ae, a e iho ilalo i ka puali; no ka mea, ua hoolilo au ia lakou i kou lima.
10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp.
Aka, ina makau oe ke iho ilalo, e hele pu olua me kou kanaka me Pura, a hiki i ka puali.
11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down upon the camp.' Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that were in the camp.
E hoolohe oe i ka mea a lakou e olelo ai, a mahope iho, e ikaika auanei kou lima ke iho ilalo i ka puali. Alaila, iho aku la ia ilalo me Pura kona kanaka, a hiki i ka welau o ka poe kaua ma ka puali.
12 Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.
E moe ana ko Midiana a me ka Ameleka, a me na kanaka a pau o ka hikina, ma kahi papu, ua like me na uhini ka nui loa; a o ka lakou poe kamelo, aole i pau i ka heluia, ua like me na one o kahakai ka nui.
13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his follow, and saying: 'Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, that the tent lay flat.'
A hiki aku la o Gideona, aia hoi, e hai ana kekahi kanaka i ka moe i kona hoa, i ae la, Ua moe au i ka moe, aia hoi, he popo palaoa huluhulu i olokaa mai nei iloko o ka puali o ko Midiana, a hiki i kekahi halelewa, pa aku ia, a hina ia, a hoohiolo, mai luna mai, a palaha ae la ka halelewa.
14 And his fellow answered and said: 'This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.'
I ae la kona hoa ia ia, Aole keia he mea e, o ka pahikaua wale no a Gideona, ke keiki a Ioasa, he kanaka no ka Iseraela. Ua hoolilo o Iehova i ko Midiana, a me ka puali a pau i kona lima.
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said: 'Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.'
A i ka manawa i lohe ai o Gideona i ka hai ana o ka moe, a me ka hoakakaia, hoomana aku la ia, a hoi hou aku la i ka puali o ka Iseraela, i iho la, E ku ae iluna, no ka mea, ua hoolilo o Iehova i ka puali o ko Midiana i ko oukou lima.
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them horns, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
Mahele ae la oia i kela poe kanaka ekolu haneri, i ekolu poe, a haawi ae la i na pu i ka lima o lakou a pau, a me ka ipu kaawale, he lamaku ko loko.
17 And he said unto them: 'Look on me, and do likewise; and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
I aku la ia lakou, E nana mai oukou ia'u, a e hana like, aia hiki aku la au i ka palena o kahi e hoomoana'i, e like me ka'u hana ana, pela oukou e hana'i.
18 When I blow the horn, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the horns also on every side of all the camp, and say: For the LORD and for Gideon!'
A i puhi aku au i ka pu, ea, owau, a me ka poe me au, alaila, e puhi oukou i na pu ma na aoao a pau o kahi hoomoana'i a pau, me ka i aku, No Iehova a me Gideona.
19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch; and they blew the horns, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
Alaila, hele mai la o Gideona, a me ka haneri kanaka pu me ia, a hiki i ka palena o kahi hoomoana'i i ka mua o ka wati waena, akahi no lakou i hoonoho ia wati. Puhi iho la lakou i ka pu, a wawahi ae la na ipu ma ko lakou mau lima.
20 And the three companies blew the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the horns in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried: 'The sword for the LORD and for Gideon!'
O kela mau poe ekolu, puhi no lakou i na pu, a wawahi ae la i na ipu, a paa iho la na lama ma ko lakou mau lima hema, a o na pu ma ko lakou mau lima akau, e puhi. Hea aku la lakou, Ka pahikaua a Iehova a me Gideona.
21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and fled.
Ku no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma kona wahi iho, a puni kahi i hoomoana'i. Holo aku la ka puali a pau, a uwa aku la, a hee.
22 And they blew the three hundred horns, and the LORD set every man's sword a against his fellow, even throughout all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
Puhi iho la na haneri ekolu i ka pu, a hookau mai la o Iehova i ka pahikaua a kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o lakou iho, ma ka puali a pau; a holo aku la ka puali, a hiki i Betesita, ma Zererata, ma ka mokuna o Abelamehola, a me Tabata.
23 And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
A akoakoa mai la na kanaka o Iseraela, no ka Napetali mai, a no ka Asera mai, a no ka Manase mai, a hahai aku la i ko Midiana.
24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying: 'Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.' So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.
Hoouna aku la o Gideona i mau elele ma ka mauna a pau o Eperaima, i aku la, E iho mai oukou e halawai me ko Midiana, a e lawe lilo i ko lakou wai, a hiki i Betebara, a me Ioredane. Alaila akoakoa mai na kanaka o Eperaima, a lilo ia lakou na wai, a hiki i Betebara, a me Ioredane:
25 And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the Rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the Winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
A pio ia lakou na'lii elua o ko Midiana, o Oreba, a me Zeeba; a pepehi lakou ia Oreba ma Pohaku Oreba, a pepehi lakou ia Zeeba ma Pawaina-Zeba, A hahai lakou i ko Midiana, a lawe mai la i na poo o Oreba a me Zeeba ia Gideona ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
